Highlights of this tour:
This lake had formed the tip
section of the Lade Bay until
the Roman period. Because the
River Meander had carried and
deposited silt, its connection
to the open sea has been cut in
400 A.D. This lake is 15 km in
length, 10 km in width, 700
hectare and 25 m in depth. It’s
a fresh water lake but a part of
it contains salt.
There is also a bird paradise
with 208 breeds of birds (such
as pelicans, storks, etc.....)
in the lake there are sea bars,
eels and carps. On the land
there is agriculture (cotton,
olive) and bee farming.
LATMOS – HERAKLEIA: Latmos or
Herakleia, the original name of
the town in history, was a town
built on a harbour on the skirts
of Mount Latmos which is 1375 m
high. The economy of Herakleia
depended on agriculture, fishing
and sea commerce. The collapse
of the city was brought upon by
the River Meander which caused
the connection of the bay and
the sea to break off: The
natural structure, the
appearance and the skirt of the
mountain which the city was
settled on, show why there were
so many legends born.
The moon goddess SELENE put her
darling ENDYMON into sleep and
came over one night and made
love to him. Mount Latmos didn’t
lose its mysterious and holy
character even in the Byzantine
period.
